Craving Chocolate? Martha Stewart’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Brownies Will Help Your Cravings
The only peanut butter-based pairing that beats peanut butter and jelly? Peanut butter and chocolate. From Buckeyes to Reese’s and even peanut butter M&Ms, they’re downright addicting. And one of Martha Stewart’s most delicious dessert recipes embraces the pairing in the form of a moist batch of creamy peanut butter-ribboned brownies. The best part? The dessert is super easy to make.
On Jan 20, Stewart shared a photo of her brownie recipe with the caption reading, “To satisfy a serious chocolate craving whenever the mood strikes, bake a half-batch of brownies in a standard loaf pan. Inspired by buckeye candies, these treats are run through with a ribbon of rich peanut-butter cream that takes on a caramel flavor in the oven. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @dmalosh.”

To make Stewart’s Buckeye Brownies, you’ll start by making your creamy peanut butter filling by combining peanut butter, butter, and milk in a small, heavy saucepan. (Don’t forget your other ingredients like Diamond Crystal kosher salt, unbleached all-purpose flour, and more!)
You’ll then melt your chocolate chips and whisk with sugar and an egg, followed by cocoa, vanilla, and salt. And it’s during this step that Stewart imparts a very important piece of advice: “To ensure that coveted crackly top,” she says, “mix the batter until it’s glossy.” Then, fold in your flour and even more chocolate chips.
The next step is the fun part — one you’ll need your 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan for.
After about 30 minutes, you’ll let it cool off (give it about an hour to do so), and then cut ’em into pieces for the whole family to enjoy!
